GOLDEN APPLE AWARDS: NOMINATE YOUR FAVORITE TEACHER TODAY!
In a year unlike any other, it’s more important than ever to recognize the hard work and dedication of our teachers.
Please help us honor your favorite teacher by nominating them for a Golden Apple Award. This year’s sponsor is Better Living Building Supply and Cabinetry. They will provide each award winner with a $500 grant to use in the classroom. Nominate your favorite teacher today!
Do you know a teacher who …
- Creates a love of learning in students of all abilities and backgrounds?
- Stimulates thought and provokes student dialogue?
- Challenges students to reach high standards and expectations?
- Understands the needs of students individually and collectively, and meets those needs with determination, enthusiasm and imagination?
- Involves families in the education process?
If so, please take a moment to nominate this excellent educator for a Golden Apple Award! Any teacher, preschool through grade 12, who has not received a Golden Apple Award in the past three years is eligible. Nominations must be submitted by April 30.
LET’S BE HUNGER HEROES

Our local Blue Ridge Food Bank Food Drive is running this wonderful yearly food drive event from April 12 – April 30, 2021. Let’s help them reach their goal in collecting non perishable food and items. (Details on the flyer) Food Barrels will be out in the lobby for in person students to drop donations. Virtual students, please bring your donations to one of your supply bag pick ups in April.
Thank you!
